You might be able to do this using an "Action", though it's been so  
long since I've used Horde_Form in depth, not sure off hand.

Well, most of the code is from years and years ago, but it has been  
updated as we moved to Horde 4, and Horde 5. The library no doubt  
needs a major overhaul though.

I know we use the date and datetime etc... form types in some of our  
apps, like Whups. So I know they work. If you have a test case you  
believe should work, but doesn't, feel free to create a bug report.

Probably not without hacking the code/creating a new form type. If  
this is for a custom application, you can create your own form types.  
IIRC, you can look at Turba's tag type to see how to do this.
